Super easy and quick to make. This is something I whip up on the fly when company shows up at the door without warning. You’ll love these little treats, and so will your guests!

Have you ever had one of those days where you are super de duper busy and being pulled in every direction? I know you have. We all have. Am I right?

You finally get home after a busy day and just as you go to slip on your jammies just  in time for your favourite TV show (Supernatural- can you say Winchester boys rock my world) the doorbell rings.

You are now doing a check in your head!!

Did I clean today?

Did I do laundry today or is it piled up by the front door for some unknown reason?

Then the OMG do I have anything to feed people moment hits!!

Well folks this is a surefire way to please those unannounced naughty guests who should have called but did not. I mean seriously, who stops in on a weeknight when your favourite show is on anyway.

Have a plan of action in place for emergencies like this. You need to be prepared. Keep your pantry stocked with quick ingredients like graham crumbs, puddings, cookies, and things like that.

Set a code word set with hubby for moments like this. Try *winchester sandwich* as he’ll never know what you mean anyway, then that will be his cue to take the rude visitors on a tour of some project you did 3 years ago and never finished.

You now have 5 minutes. This is what you make. And honestly, it seriously takes only 5 minutes.

You’re welcome!

Now drop lots of hints about how tired you are before Supernatural starts. Or tell them you are coming down with the flu, that always works.

    Ha-the secret is out now, anyone can drop by unannounced and get a delicious dessert at Kim's place. In addition, she has an important TV schedule and has no issues with you dining and dashing!
    This looks delicious, but I will need a bigger spoon to insure I can get all the components together in one bite-yum! Enjoy the weekend!

    Yum! We love banana cream pie and it hadn't occurred to me to do it this way. I love using jars because it's easy to create individual portions…otherwise we have a tendency to eat pie right out of the baking dish until half of it's gone 🙂 Easy to make this recipe low fat, too. Def stealing this one!

    You are so much more on the ball than you give yourself credit. In the same situation, I'd be like deer in the headlights without a clue. These are SO cute. I am thinking that you could use strawberries or peaches depending on the season and what's on hand (As a banana hater, my mind always tries to come up with alternatives, don't mind me.)

    "I love theses!" I actually have mason jars of both sizes! I use them as tea drinking cups w/flavored honey sticks,peach tea, cupcakes n a jar, layered desserts, and one of my best & favs is: Hot Choc & marshmellows! They can be prepared in advance then just add hot water or milk when ready to serve! I'd love to see your spin on that. Let me know if u use it! I add mint &/or cookie garnishes, cherries,whipped cream as well.

This is just one of those easy things you can throw together yet it tastes incredible. Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by and let me know how you liked them. Means a lot to me.
